  • conversion tool sam to wig

    Does anyone have a conversion tool for .sam format to .wig format? I need to visualize my aligment data on ucsc.
    Thanks!!

    In Unix/Linux, a one-liner could do this for you:

    samtools pileup -S -f <reference fasta> <sam file> | awk '{print $1, $2-1, $2, $4}' > mywiggle.bed

    --Nancy

      Nice! BTW it creates a huge wig file as it gives a value for each position.
      I would post-process the data with some binning tool (such as wig2bdg included in MACS). As example:
      bam file with ~12000000 aligned reads -> 1.7 Gb compressed wig -> 87 Mb compressed binned bedgraph

        nhansen:
        I follow your methods and samtools show "[bam_plp_destroy] memory leak: 1. Continue anyway."
        Dose it mean I don`t have enough memory?

          Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
          by seqadmin


          Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
